Farm Fun for Kids: Spring Foragers

SATURDAY MORNING SESSIONS: FARM FUN FOR KIDS!

This season, we will be offering childrens on-farm experiences on Saturday mornings throughout the spring, summer and fall to give those who have weekday programs a chance to join in on the farm fun.

Our Saturday morning farm sessions are a great way to get your children outside and connecting to nature. The program is loosely planned to make time for exploration and spontaneous activities based on the specific group’s interests. The farm is always changing with every day, hour, and season. We want to give your children a chance to be a part of nature’s cycle in these different time periods and learn about locally available fruits and veggies, seasonality, and the flavor of freshness. Every session will be different, but all sessions will involve exploring the fields and greenhouses for what is growing, tasting if they like, and doing crafts and activities themed around the seasonal focus on the farm. The group will learn about their food and where it comes from in a fun and experiential way using the working farm as a classroom! 

Spring Foragers: May Sessions

May is an exciting time on the farm and in the greenhouses! The soil is being turned from the dead of the winter to expose the life and critters underneath. The bees are hungry for flowers nectar and the bunnies are emerging from their burrows! The farmers are busy harvesting from the greenhouses and planting the first veggies in the field. It is a great time of year to see the transition from winter to spring, and a fun time for kids to explore life re-emerging in all areas of nature. 

Please send your children with water, walking shoes for the farm, hat, and a snack if they get hungry during this time (or are picky as we will have some veggie snacks if they want to try!)
